$BTCUSD 30 Day Report as of December 01 2014

Heaviest Trading Day of November
Wednesday Nov 12 2014 was the heaviest trading day in November. @bitstamp traded over 40 thousand bitcoin in a single 24 hour frame. Their 30 day volume of 431k pinned down third overall $BTCUSD rank with an overall marketshare of 18% for the month.

$BTCUSD popular secondary market
$BTCCNY volume is quantified by data.bitcoinity.org in millions of $BTC whereas $BTCUSD is in thousands. This makes $BTCUSD a secondary market – but one which is popular nonetheless. Tallying up the 30 day pie chart sums to a volume of 2,340,000 BTC – a couple of million $btc. This is no small
potatoes.

Total $BTCUSD November trading value $ 938,174,400
Using the blockchain.info 30 day high and low we arrive at a median 30 day price of $386.08. Above we added up bitcoinity’s monthly $BTCUSD volume equal to about 2,340,000 BTC. The extrapolated total $BTCUSD November monthly trading value is approximately $USD 903,427,200. That’s 9/10ths of a billion dollars.

Bitfinex reigns over $BTCUSD market
The overall number 4 all currencies volume leader is at it again – except this time absolutely tops the $BTCUSD pie. @bitfinex easily lands top position with 939k btc traded. But perhaps more importantly they have cornered the $BTCUSD market – at least for the time being – with over 40% market share.

@OKCoinBTC has again leApt up in the ranks
@OKCoinBTC has again leapt up in the ranks. Several months ago they were 4th ranked or less in $BTCUSD. In November, @OKCoinBTC edges @bitstamp with 466 k btc traded for a marketshare of 19% – and assumes number two Position. They still have a long way to go to catch up with @Bitfinex but with a leadership that publicly states they want to be the Google of Bitcoin if I was @bitfinex I would start to plan now for the upcoming showdown. OKCoinBTC is unequivocably first overall for all currencies traded and currently world bitcoin leader.

BTC-e.com
@btcecom continues their strong showing with over a quarter million btc traded and 10% marketshare. In observing their pricing, it is hard to find a day when they do not offer the lowest price at some point in the day perhaps arguably on a very consistent perpetual basis. It is not uncommon to see the bid greater than the ask. Aggressive pricing appears to be a standard operating principle, and may have a lot do to with their number four position. BTC-e is a natural arbitrage buy.

BTCe’s website is a classic design. The author experienced solid and prompt response times in an appreciated ticketing system. They may not be number one, but they have a good thing going.

Other leaders
@LakeBTC @Itbit @LocalBitcoins @Coinsetter and @ANXBTC round out the $BTCUSD pack. @Itbit is the new kid on the block hailing from Singapore, which is also the place of OKCoin.com’s international operations incorporation.

As an aside, both @LakeBTC and @Bitfinex are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
